Please help.. hid ballast location

Okay.. so i got some 7500k HIDs .. and I thought they'd be a breeze to install.. and i just realized that I cannot find a location for the driver side ballast to be mounted... could anyone please help!... and any information on the passenger side would be helpful too -- just to be safe!! .. these are expensive and i'd really hate to mess them up by doing something stupid like bad install.. PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks in advance,
- rob

I'll take some pics with my digi cam tomorrow so you all know how big the ballast is -- but if anyone is familiar with them, its from Bohmen! Thanks again

^ couple of things..
First: I double-sided taped the ballast onto the battery wall..not screw...juz need to windex the surface first.

2nd: If you need high beam, return these 9007's you have right now. Get the black housings from me, get the rewiring done, then you can go ahead and get the H1 kit and you'll have seperate hi/low beams.

OR you can juz go spend $700 on those CATZ 9007 hi/low beam kit (THE ONLY hi/low beam kit for 9007)

Those CATZ are a nice kit from what I've seen and heard - but that is pretty spendy - watch ebay if you plan on going that route.
